Hi,

I've been nosing about again for a while, I first came across this site a couple (or more?!) years ago but once again had life overtake me and writing was pushed to the back-burner. I'm hoping that I get a chance to at least get some of these ideas out of my head and in draft to save my sanity, although that may already be too late! ;)

It's been a long time since I've been on any forum so I need to get my nerve together to jump in :eek: but wanted to say :hi:

Welcome to the Water Cooler!

AW is a huge place, and there's a lot of information to be found here. Take your time and browse around to get a feel of the various forums.

Feel free to stop by Jed's Newbie Pub at the top of the New Members forum. It's a friendly place where you can hang out, have a virtual drink, and strike up a conversation with other members.

And don't forget to check out the Newbie Guide. Enjoy your stay. :)

Good to meetcha deva and honestly, your post could have my name on it. Except you had "life" as an excuse. I had: why not read some more books first; which story is best; I really should have a laptop before; do I wanna do scripts or novels...blah, blah, blah. Hope to think I'm finally jumping in the pool and glad to see you are too...here at AW and wherever you write.

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome! :)

Ahem! Gotta say those excuses sound awfully familiar to me too! :e2paperba!!! :D
